You may need to replace the LABEL= entries in /etc/fstab for both FC4 
and F7, and in the grub.conf, to point to the actual device.

What often happens in these types of set ups, is that the system may 
boot the right kernel and then mount the wrong file system.
Not Good.

anaconda is somewhat notorious for mangling labels with /, /1, /2, etc.

General rule of thumb:
When dual (or more) booting like systems, force grub  and fstab to read 
the specific device and not the LABEL.

Good Luck!
